After shooting for Saath Nibhaana Saathiya for seven long years, Mohammad Nazim is finally moving on, hopefully for better prospects. Nazim will now be seen in a Bollywood film. Meanwhile, his exit from the show left his co-stars teary-eyed.

Especially his on-screen mother Rupal Patel who plays Kokila Modi in the soap couldn't stop her tears long after her shot was over. In the shot, Nazim's dead body was in front of her and she was inconsolable. Naturally so, she's a mother. But her off-screen tears showed how motherly she was as a co-star. In fact, Nazim had to get up and console her.

While Rupal was not in a position to give any byte, Devoleena Bhattacharjee shared with Aaj Tak's Saas Bahu Aur Betiyaan that she shot her very first scene in the soap with Nazim.

His on-screen beti Meera aka Tanya Sharma talked about their on-set camaraderie and how she would miss his presence on the sets.

"It was an amazing experience to be a part of the Saath Nibhaana Saathiya family. It has been six years now. I'm feeling really sad to leave my second family," Mohammad said in a statement.

The actor says he will miss "everyone" as he is close to all the cast members, and also thanked them for giving him a lot of love and respect.

Nazim hopes his exit brings TRPs to the show. "Please give the same love to my future ventures also," he signed off.

In the show, his character Ahem will die in an accident and Gopi will be left in a trauma. Kokila will try to fix her with some other man as she doesn't want Gopi to be a widow for the rest of her life.

All the best Mohammad Nazim. We will miss you on the show.
